Tracking internal links

[MrValdemar]

Hi

Lets say I've got like 30 entries in my blog, each of those entries have like 3 internal contextual links. How can I know (in GoogleAnalytics) how often people click in those internal links?

so if Ive got an article about the orwell book 1984, and within this 1984 article theres a link to another of my entries about animal farm. What I want to know is how often people click on that link to animal farm

I thought this would be obvious and simple, but I can't find how to do it, please help

I don't think you can try with Analytics (at least I don't know).

Another option that I know that works for sure is using CrazyEgg (or any other tool that does the same thing).

CrazyEgg has a trial and you can literally see how people are behaving on your site.

Hope that helps.

Thanks

heard about crazyegg, but I was hoping you could do that within GA and for free

Nope, crazyegg is the only way. However, it may give you really good insights, especially if you have affiliate site.
There is a 30day free trial that I would really recommend once you build your site to a reasonable size

I believe you can use GTM trigger

There are WP plugins for internal linking. For example https://wordpress.org/plugins/internal-links/
